Static WEP Settings (Cont.)

Generate (Passphrase):

This button displays an on-screen keyboard which allows you to enter a

 

passphrase. The panel then automatically generates four WEP keys that are

 

compatible only with Modero panels. Enter these WEP keys into the target

 

WAP.

 

When working with multiple panels, WEP Keys must be entered into the WAP

 

for each panel.

 

• All Modero panels use the same code key generator. Therefore, this

 

Passphrase generates identical keys on any Modero panel.

 

• The Passphrase generator is case sensitive.

 

Note: This Key generator is unique to Modero panels and does not generate

 

the same keys as non-AMX wireless devices. For example, a Current Key

 

string generated anywhere else will not match those created on Modero

 

panels.

 

 

Default Key:

Cycles through the four available WEP key identifiers to select a WEP key to

 

use. As the Default Key value is altered (through selection) the corresponding

 

“Current Key” is displayed. Each Current Key corresponds to a WEP key.

 

This feature is useful for accessing different networks without having to

 

re-enter that networks’ WEP key. It is also sometimes used to set up a

 

rotating key schedule to provide an extra layer of security.

 

 

WEP Keys:

This feature provides another level of security by selecting up to four WEP

 

Keys.

 

Push any of the four buttons to open an on-screen keyboard. Both ASCII and

 

HEX keys are supported. Up to four keys can be configured for both.

 

• An ASCII key utilizes either 5 or 13 ASCII characters

 

• A HEX key utilizes either 10 or 26 Hexidecimal characters

 

Press Done to accept any changes and save the new value.

 

Note: A 64-bit key will be 10 characters in length while a 128-bit key will be

 

26 characters in length. The length of the key entered determines the level of

 

WEP encryption employed (64 or 128-bit). 128-bit keys may be used if

 

supported by the internal wireless card.

 

 

Current Key:

Displays the current WEP key in use.

 

• When working with a single panel and a single WAP, manually entering the

 

Current Key from the WAP into the selected WEP Key is recommended.

 

• When working with a single WAP and multiple panels, generating a Current

 

Key using the same passphrase on all panels and then entering the

 

panel-produced WEP key manually into the Wireless Access Point is

 

recommended.

 

• Keys may also be examined by touching the key buttons and noting the

 

keyboard initialization text.

 

• Use the on-screen keyboard’s Clear button to erase stored key information.

Authentication:

 

Toggles between the two authentication modes: Open (broadcast publicly) or

 

Shared (encrypted).

 

• An Open network allows connections from any client without authentication.

 

• A Shared network requires the client to submit a key which is shared by the

 

network WAP before it is given permission to associate with the network. In

 

this case the key is the same as the WEP encryption key.

 

In either case, if WEP encryption has been enabled, the client will still require

 

the WEP key to encrypt and decrypt packets in order to communicate with the

 

network.

 

 

Save/Cancel:

Save - store the new security information, apply changes, and return to the

 

previous page.

 

Cancel - discard changes and return to the previous page.

 

 

Refer to the Configuring Wireless Network Access section on page 21 and the Using the Site Survey

tool section on page 23 for further details on these security options.
